Autobiography of a Yogi: Unabridged 1946 Edition
Paramahansa YoganandaShyam@Swamy39 @venzq @vhsindia @jagdishshetty Rajinikanth's Baba was a complete insult to the book "Autobiography of a Yogi". He twisted the complete story of Paramahansa Yogananda's childhood experiences of the kite and later on his meeting with Babaji to totally something else. His movies are misleading spiritually.

Savitri: A Legend & a Symbol - New U.S. Edition
AurobindoShyam@thewire_in They may reintroduce Sri Aurobindo's Savitri which was part of the curriculum in British India or just after independence. My dad studied this during his PUC I think. That was in 1953 I think.

Don Quixote: Part 2: Large Print
Miguel De CervantesShyam@MnshaP @zoo_bear Zubair's arrest as I'd said earlier, reminded me of Miguel de Cervantes's incarceration. That's how Don Quixote was born. He performed for the prison audience and involved the prisoners into characters of his play "Man of La Mancha", which I could see in Zubair. https://t.co/WvCcx9qqQo

A Study in Scarlet: Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan DoyleShyam@newslaundry @anandverite The problem is with the religious teachers and saints and Gurus who keep narrating his story as if it really happened.
